[QUOTE="pdqdl, post: 7995596, member: 22041"] I suspect Unc may have meant raise the pH number. He's pretty savvy about stuff, but he's not a chemist. As pH numbers go up from 7, alkalinity is often said to go up. Almost no one says acidity goes down, however, when the pH number gets smaller. For anyone interested, it's just an inverted logarithmic scale of the acidic hydrogen ion concentration. [INDENT][SIZE=3]A pH of 3 is equal to an H+ (acidic hydrogen) ion at a concentration of 1/1000. Your seriously basic soil might might come in at 9.0 pH which would be equal to only one acidic hydrogen ion per 1,000,000,000 atoms/particles in a water solution. [/SIZE][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
